Abstract: To provide a wiring structure of a license light of a two-wheeled vehicle which enables avoiding excessive increase in length of wiring. A license light is attached to the center of a fender support. A wire extends in a vehicle-width direction from the license light, and a connector is attached to its end. The connector is fixed to the fender support by a clip. A vehicle-body-side harness extending from the vehicle body side runs through the vehicle width center along a portion near the top edge of a rear fender in the vehicle-width direction, runs downward, is fastened to a rear-frame end pipe shown in imaginary lines by a fastener such as a wiring band, and then runs upward toward the connector. The vehicle-body-side harness sags when the rear fender is lowered. The sag produces room for pulling the rear fender toward the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle-body-side harness only needs to be extended upward, and is not required to be excessively loose. Thus, the vehicle-body-side harness can have the shortest required length. Since there is no excessive looseness, the wiring can be made simple.
